Why do you need AWD for? Just put some Blizzack snow tires on and that car will go through any snow that mother nature dumps on the roads. My Daytona goes through snow without any problems with Blizzack's.

Thanks everyone for the responses. My business partner and I are working hard on striking a deal but are probably at least a month out on it so I guess i'll just have to wait until they hit the dealer which is fine with me as long as I can snab an AWD (daily driver in Ohio.)

Snow is no reason to avoid a RWD car as long as you use decent snow tires.

While the LX isn't as balanced a platform (weight wise) as something like a Ford Panther (Crown Vic, Marquis, Marauder, Town Car, etc.), the traction control makes up for it to some extent. However, the bottom line is decent snow tires (I've been sporting Blizzaks for every winter with the Charger so far, with great success as you can see above).
